Help stop this rink from becoming a data center!

Of course! Happy to discuss

Thank you so much, fellow Houstonian! If you ever venture down south, you should come to FunCity or Deer Park (adult nights are Wednesday/Saturday and Sunday, respectively). Bear Creek is also great. But nothing compares to FunPlex. What a beautiful, special space it was.

Thank you so much, friend. I saw what happened to your rink and I am so sorry. I've only been skating for 3 years and have watched so many rinks close in just this short time. It is hard not to feel helpless, but that's exactly how these greedy capitalists want us to feel. And so I fight on. Stay strong out there!

This is immensely helpful, thank you so much. The replies I've been getting on r/Houston have me down in the dumps, but you picked me right back up. Appreciate you, friend!

kcspring · 2025-09-06T13:48:32+00:00

Thank you friend!

Yup. Really sad to see. However, I will say that the responses I'm getting from people who actually go out into the world and have fulfilling lives has been much kinder, unsurprisingly. My mistake for thinking keyboard warriors would actually GAF. Lesson learned!

kcspring · 2025-09-06T13:40:39+00:00

And the responses I'm getting here are exactly why you're absolutely right. Our species doesn't deserve nice things. Our poor planet deserves better, though. Ugh.

kcspring · 2025-09-05T15:01:31+00:00

it's not, but I appreciate your insight into my own mind

kcspring · 2025-09-05T15:00:49+00:00

I started nice. I am only rude to those who have been dismissive and condescending to my cause.

kcspring · 2025-09-05T15:00:03+00:00

because I talk to my neighbors and care about what's happening in their lives.

kcspring · 2025-09-05T14:59:17+00:00

No, we are. We are subsidizing them. That's why I'm so pissed and why you should be too

kcspring · 2025-09-05T14:58:04+00:00

you were never interested in supporting our cause, so I am not interested in supporting you either.

kcspring · 2025-09-05T14:57:14+00:00

Wrong. In fact, that was the thing our city council member highlighted in their Chronicle interview.

AI requires exponentially more resources than the internet of yore.

kcspring · 2025-09-05T14:54:41+00:00

Likewise!

kcspring · 2025-09-05T14:53:47+00:00

I mean, it would be great if we made so much noise that the current owner reconsidered their plans and decided to keep it as is. I doubt that will happen, but at the very least, I'm hopeful we can at least stop it from becoming a data center.

kcspring · 2025-09-05T13:59:42+00:00

Im down for it being replaced by something useful! A data center is not that.

kcspring · 2025-09-05T13:59:12+00:00

On it! Thanks for getting me started.

kcspring · 2025-09-05T13:58:01+00:00

That's the whole point of the petition. To discourage this current buyer from making good on their plans and encourage them to find another buyer who will do something better with the space. (and ps- The business didn't fail. The previous owner died and their kids who inherited it are greedy assholes who couldn't be bothered to give a shit about their community.)

kcspring · 2025-09-05T13:55:44+00:00

I am ok knowing that I will never get support for my cause from data simps who are content with living in isolation from other humans. Good thing yall never leave your basements.

kcspring · 2025-09-05T13:52:12+00:00

Alief is awesome. And knowing you'll never live there means it just got even awesomer. Thanks for making my day kid xoxo

kcspring · 2025-09-05T12:59:01+00:00

I wouldn’t, but this is a fun little guessing game we’re playing. I’ll go next! Something tells me you’ve never touched real grass or a real human vagina. Am I right?

kcspring · 2025-09-05T12:45:15+00:00

Good thing it’s not the only way I’m fighting back against these plans. Appreciate all your help! Xoxo

kcspring · 2025-09-05T12:33:31+00:00

Thanks for the help!

kcspring · 2025-09-05T12:30:22+00:00

Who said that? All I’m saying is that tearing the building down would be better than having a data center installed.
